Seven Random Facts?

I guess I've put off doing this for too long. Coco tagged me to write seven random facts about me. At least I think that's what it was, but anyway, here they are. 1. I love musicals. Sometimes my mother gets mad at me for singing and dancing to the same broadway classic over and over. My favorite broadway play is The Scarlet Pimpernel, although I will confess I have never seen it, but I do know every song sung in it. 2. I've been suffering from a sore throat and cough these last couple of days, and a couple of days ago my mom bought me some medicine stuff that numbs your mouth and the pain in your throat. I figured they were just like cough drops, so I had five in one hour. (The box said to only take one every two hours.) To say the least, I was VERY loopy working on my book project at 1:00 in the morning, and I honestly don't know how I got through it with out falling dead asleep. 3. I'm a sucker for classical romance. My personal favorites will always be Jane Austen's six novels, but I also love Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Charles Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities. Not to mention Little Women, The Inheritance, AHHHHH! Never mind I could go on FOREVER! 4. I've decided that when I finally get to college I want to do something with English of History and minimize the amount of science and math I have to take because honestly don't see my self studying Quantum Physics or the velocity of a falling ball....yah de yah de yah!! 5. This week I only have three days of school and today is my second day. I can't wait for this weekend! I need to catch up with my homework...but I know that isn't going to happen! 6. I love to run. If you were to ask me why I'd probably just make you stare at me blankly in confusion. (I like the burning and aching sensation in your calf, and the endorphins make you feel really happy, but it also helps me clear my head by increasing the pain in it.) -I know! NO SENSE!!!- And finally..... 7. Mom needs me to drive her to the post office right now so I have to go. So long, Farewell, A Ve Der Something....Goodbye!

Orchestra Concert

So, yesterday was our (Riverton City Orchestra) Veteran's Day concert and I didn't know about it until an hour before call time. Liz picked me up and we played our usual Patriotic program but I still felt really unprepared because I haven't played those songs since last summer. (We got the music for the concert last week, and that was the week I skipped practice because hey, I wasn't gonna go on my birthday!) All in all though it was a really good concert and the speaker was really good too. In fact, I think he was the first speaker at our patriotic concerts that didn't put me to sleep. One thing from his talk that really has stayed in my mind is he said that while many of us find it hard to agree with our present circumstance of war, if we are to succeed in our cause we must unite spiritually and allow God to help those who are defending freedom in the name of the United States. It was really cool to feel the spirit in a Patriotic setting and realize the thin line that divides country and church.

Mom's Still Sick

Today is Sunday, and today Mom didn't go to church because she is still sick. She's finally going to see the doctor tomorrow thank goodness! After having strep throat for about a week she broke out into hives and she's had to stay in bed. But other than that today was really tiring. I think it had something to do with the stake dance last night. It was really fun! -Except I was trying to do a spin and lift with my friend during a swing song and my skirt went up a little high in front of a kid in my Orchestra class.- ANYWAY! I only danced a couple slow songs, but they didn't count because two were with my friend Tony because he was trying to avoid another girl, and the other one was with a wierd guy in my Ballroom Dance class who doesn't know about this little thing we call DEODERENT!! But ya know he did know how to waltz so that scored him a few points. Anyway I have stuff due for school tomorrow (I gotta finish reading The Scarlet Letter, which is by the way a great book so far.) so I gotta go. TTFN!

My Birthday and Sleeping Over at Coco's Place

Well, I'm at Coco's place right now because we had a sleepover last night, (All I wanted for my birthday.) and she set me up with a blog, and now she's making me write in it. My birthday was... okay. I have to say that I feel bad for anyone who had to associate with me. I was so apethetic and ... blah! I did not want to turn seventeen, and don't anyone say I have no right to use that "I'm getting so old" excuse because I'm only upset because since I've been ten seventeen has been the year that I refered to as "adult". Yuck!
